I'm David Sutman Jr. — a working Tennessean, not a career politician. I'm running for U.S. Senate to fight rising costs, restore accountability, and put people ahead of party.
David Sutman Jr. is a Tennessee-based independent candidate for U.S. Senate, running to represent the working men and women too often overlooked by career politicians and party agendas.
Born and raised with the values that define Tennessee — hard work, personal responsibility, and looking out for your neighbors — David understands firsthand the challenges facing everyday families. Like many Tennesseans, he has experienced the pressure of rising costs, economic uncertainty, and a system that feels increasingly disconnected from the people it serves.
David comes from a working-class background and has built his experience in the real world — not in political offices, but in business, problem-solving, and navigating the same economy that millions of Tennesseans face every day. He believes leadership shouldn't come from those insulated from consequences, but from those who live them.
Frustrated with a political system dominated by party loyalty, special interests, and empty promises, David made the decision to run as an independent. His campaign is built on a simple principle: Tennessee deserves representation, not political theater.
David is not running to become a politician — he's running to do a job and be accountable for it.
These aren't talking points crafted by consultants. These are the issues that keep Tennessee families up at night — and the commitments I'll fight for every single day.
Tennesseans don't need more speeches — they need relief.
I don't answer to a party. I answer to Tennessee.
If you wouldn't accept it at your job, why accept it from Washington?
Washington is full of politicians. It's missing people like us.
The Constitution isn't optional — it's the foundation.
I'm running because too many Tennesseans feel like no one is listening.
You work hard. You play by the rules. And still, it feels like you're falling behind.
Meanwhile, the people making the decisions don't live with the consequences.
That's not leadership — that's disconnect.
We don't need more polished politicians. We need real representation.
That's why I'm stepping up.
